Internal Link Ratio& Orphan Risk

A site that publishes posts but never connects them leaks ranking potential. Find out if your internal linking is thin, healthy, or leaving pages stranded — in one number.

Your site

All numbers are from your own site — most SEO crawlers (or Linkilo) report them.

Count contextual in-content links. Excluding site-wide nav/footer links gives a truer read.

Pages with zero inbound internal links. Leave 0 if you're not sure.

A widely-cited rule of thumb: aim for at least 3 contextual internal links per post, and zero orphans.

What this means

    Benchmarks

    What a healthy internal link profile looks like

    Avg internal links per postRead
    Under 1Severely under-linked. Most posts are near-orphans and pass almost no authority.
    1 – 3Thin. You're linking, but not enough to build topical structure or move equity around.
    3 – 10Healthy zone for most content sites — enough density to form clusters without bloat.
    10+Dense. Fine for large pillar pages and hubs; watch for dilution on thin posts.

    Benchmarks are directional rules of thumb, not Google guarantees. Context — site size, niche, content depth — always matters.

    Found thin linking or orphans? Linkilo fixes both automatically.

    This calculator tells you the score. Linkilo's Orphan Page Finder surfaces every stranded post, and its AI link engine suggests exactly which internal links to add — with verified anchor text — to lift your ratio where it matters.
